Talia SchafferCUNY writes back to the New Yorker! The English major isn’t dying - the state is trying to kill it. And English today is a beautiful necessary practice that should thrive, and my colleagues are doing the most inspirational work. https://www.gc.cuny.edu/news/end-english-major-hardly #newyorker #endofenglish #englishmajor #cuny #GraduateCenter
Mel CampbellReading the #NewYorker feature on the alleged decline of the #EnglishMajor and this bit made me laugh:
“Imagine if you had a voice assistant that could write code for you, and you said, ‘Hey, Alexa, build me a Web site to sell shoes,’ ” Sanjay Sarma, a professor of mechanical engineering at M.I.T., told me on the phone. (Immediately, he pulled the receiver away to rebuff a device in the room: “Shut up, Alexa! No! No!”)
